Guidance Document Change: In 2021, the Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 1904 and Senate Bill 1196, and was signed into law by Governor Northam. The law establishes new requirements to support culturally competent educators in the Commonwealth. The Guidance on Cultural Competency Training for Teachers and Other Licensed School Board Employees in Virginia Public Schools was developed for the Board to fulfill the statutory mandate to provide guidance on the minimum standards for the local training requirement.

No to CRT in schools
 

This draft document relies clearly on the core teachings of Critical Race Theory which teaches our children to hate each other and their country.  Given that our state has the lowest educational standards in the country according to the NAEP "National Report Card" we need to have teachers focus on teaching to higher standards in reading, writing, arithmetic, and science.  The decline in SOL results the past two years is devastating to our children and must be reversed with academics.
